Polygenic risk scores (PRS) could provide a measure of genetic predisposition to antipsychotic drug induced weight gain (AIWG).We conducted a study to examine how a PRS, generated using SNPs, identified from a recent meta-analysis, related to weight-change over time in people with first episode-psychosis…

We queried common variation in key energy balance genes (FTO, MC4R, LEP, CNR1, FAAH) for their association with weight gain during the initial 8 weeks in the two NIMH Research Units on Pediatric Psychopharmacology Autism Network trials (N=225) of risperido…
